Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N232FR, is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 6838. The aircraft is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, a corporation based in Denver, CO, US, and carries a US registration. It has been maintained in typical carrier service condition and holds an estimated market valuation of $3,500,000. Registered in the US and associated with Frontier's Denver base, the airframe represents a mid-life narrowbody example within the carrier's single-class fleet.

The cabin is configured as Y180 (single-class, 180 economy seats) typical of high-density short- to medium-haul operations employed by its operator. Avionics and systems are consistent with the A320-214 variant fleet common to mainstream North American carriers, supporting airline operational profiles that emphasize frequent turnarounds and dense seating. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic and near-international sectors within the aircraft's 3,300 nm range, flown from Frontier’s Denver hub and similar bases. Maintenance considerations reflect the CFM56-5B-series engine type and industry-standard airframe checks for a 2015 build; no unique amenities are documented for this specific tail.

The Airbus A320-214 sits in the single-aisle narrowbody market segment, offering operator benefits of commonality with other A320 family types and efficient medium-range performance at a cruise speed around 447 kts. Primary competitors include later-generation narrowbodies and re-engined variants aimed at improved fuel burn, while the CFM56-5B-powered A320s remain popular for operators prioritizing acquisition cost and parts availability. For buyers or lessors, considerations include mid-life maintenance cycles, engine shop visit scheduling for the CFM56-5B4/3 engines, and the aircraft's current valuation of $3,500,000 which reflects age, configuration, and market demand.
